while we were waiting in the merchants room he told us of a shooting rage. i hoped off the table, much to leon's dismay, and walked toward the elevator in the back of the room. leon quickly followed with ashley closely behind. leon wrapped his arm around my waist forcing me to put most of my wait against him. his thumb gently ran across my waist while ashley sat on the other end of the elevator.

"welcome strangers, i believe this is your first time 'aving a go at target practice" the merchant's voice sounded out through a speaker. i sat down in a very comfy recliner in the corner of the room while leon stepped up to the range. ashley walked over to me.

"how're you doing astrid" she softly asked placing a hand on mine. i smiled at the girl and her concern.

"i've been through worse don't worry bout me i'll be okay" i said back with a smile. she nodded before we both went to sit on barrels and watch leon shoot at the targets.

"watch this he's a great shot" i whispered to ashley leaning toward her slightly as leon raised his pistol. several pirates popped up with a sailor moving between them and leon quickly shot down all the pirates making ashley gasp in admiration. i smiled watching the man shoot at the targets. after he was finished several different tokens rolled onto the table that leon grabbed curiously.

"good job, leon! have fun?" ashley said hopping down from the barrel she was sitting on. i saw him smiled slightly before walking over to me to help me down, i obliged even though i didn't really need it.

"good job really impressive" i said in a playful tone causing a playful glint to appear in his eyes. his hands lingered on me before he helped me down off the barrel.

"ashley can you go see what the merchant's selling real quick i gotta talk to astrid about some classified stuff" leon said not breaking eye contact with me. i looked over to ashley who wiggled her brows at me before responding.

"yeah sure i'll be down there" she said hoping over to the elevator. once the doors were shut leon wrapped me in a warm embrace. his head rested against mine. his lips pressed softly against the top of my head.

"you scared me" he whispered against my head. i gripped him tighter.

"i know i'm sorry" i whispered back against his chest. he gently pulled away before looking down at me. he had a soft look in his eyes and he smiled at me slightly.

"how's the leg feeling?" he asked gently his hands on my biceps running his thumbs along them.

"it hurts but its not the end of the world" i said back my arms wrapping around his neck. he smiled before dropping his hands to my hips and gently bringing his lips to mine. it was a soft loving kiss nothing like the one we had shared earlier. this one expressed concern and felt caring. he gently separated before planting a kiss to my forehead.
